I'll be shocked if they don't bring Juliet in on the secret by the end
of the season. I suspect they will keep her and Nick together but
either way I expect her to be brought in on the secret before long.
Heck, even this sudden infatuation with Nick's boss should be raising
questions in her mind.  I do agree that whatever they are going to do
they need to do quickly. This isn't the sort of show that works as a
soap opera.
